Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway - Crooked Tree (Live at the Station Inn)

[@tenacious_leigh]

I've had alopecia for 20+ years and spent most of that time never laying eyes on another alopecian, either IRL or in the media. I don't think I can properly express with words how moving and empowering it is to see such a talented, beautiful young woman performing openly without her wig. Love Molly. Love the song. And a friendly reminder - representation matters.

[@jackburton2148]

well, there's also Matt Lucas, but...uh...he's not everyone's cup of tea, shall we say...

[@young1939]

I didn't know it was alopecia. Thought maybe she had undergone chemo.

[@JohnnyBeegood1]

Love at the end when the crowd is cheering, Molly, with a big smile, picks up her wig and waves it over her head. She has come to terms with it and it's beautiful to see. 😄

[@garywhitt98]

Hair is hair. Beauty is beauty. Talent is talent and heart is heart. Three of these matter…at all.

[@shaunfogarty5744]

When... Oh whats his name..., Made fun of the guys wife at the academy awards for being bald I was totally confused because, she was so gorgeous! I thought she was rocking a bald head because it looked great!! She looked great- WTF,..!! Same reaction here!! Great looking woman, human, being... we need to move on from all the idiotic baggage we all carry around wittingly or un-wittingly. I'm pretty sure.....

[@cghezzo]

I am a female musician with alopecia, and your bravery has inspired me to step into mine. Thank you.

[@cajunfid]

The level of musicianship on that stage is just astounding. Amazing.

[@kirkwatson1442]

Love you

[@HeatherMichet]

Agreed!!

[@tommyreeder4526]

Amen to that

[@douglaswilliams5556]

Congratulations to Molly and Golden Highway on their 2023 Grammy win for Best Bluegrass Album.

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Oh!!! Didn’t know that! They so deserve it!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@joeldowdy404]

Beauty is not your hair. Its your personality. Molly is a beautiful talented lady!!! I could watch and listen to her all day long, hair or not!!

[@ekalbkr]

Wow. Just plain Wow. Starting with Molly tossing her wig and Jerry Douglas's haunting intro, followed by Molly's crisp songwriting, crystal vocals and stupendous flat picking - not forgetting at all her band that seems to meld better each day - what's NOT to like? I don't know about you, but it truly warms my heart!

[@Cwiiis]

Let's not forget Melody Walker with the song-writing credit here too - really great song :)

[@JamesWilliams-rw5jo]

I just realized today that Molly has been living with a condition with her hair. Although I feel bad for her, it just makes me feel like she is even more awesome, unique, and more special than I realized.

[@kentwilliamson5236]

Actually, she is more beautiful without the wig! What a voice! Great backing vocals, excellent solos, excellent musicians and the best lyrics and song in years!

[@wooferdevlin3571]

The sliding harmonies kill me! I think Molly, when she flips her wig, gets even more commanding stage presence. Great: tune, message, solos, performances, band!! I am a crooked tree. 🤪

[@galacticbob1]

The whole band was really on another level that night!

[@kevinsomervilleweir5677]

Lovely song, played by amazing musicians. Molly, you are beautiful; you don't need a wig.

[@JochenVogel]

I love this song! And having Uncle Jerry play and smile along must have been a pleasurable honour. And Molly, You look gorgeous without the wigs.

[@alan4sure]

Her head is perfect!!❤

[@jamesfaulkner-b7j]

Makes me smile.

[@susannahray2157]

As someone with severe alopecia, this is just everything! Thanks Molly. And of course, incredible music.

[@chinto50]

Im 72, always been a blues picker, accoustic, then recently I came across the lovely young lady, talented, with the voice of an angel.. Molly you have a new fan. WOW.. and can she pick.. and very confident and brave to boot. In the immortal words o my daughter,, "You go girl".

[@stevefaure415]

Molly is not just a hands-down awesome musician and not just a great, emotive singer either. She's a bad-ass, brave as they come.

[@martineager9448]

This song was already one of the best I've heard in many years, but this version takes it to another level. Everyone at the top of their game and then sprinkle in some of that Jerry Douglas magic dust and just wow. Incredible.

[@galacticbob1]

"Here Jerry, make this great song even better." "No problem y'all, check out this intro..." 🎶

[@aurorarogers4358]

@@galacticbob1 Much as I love Jerry shredding solos and his funky jazz-influenced instrumentals, it is absolutely this kind of thing that draws me to him most. And of course his backup is sublime.

[@richardmathews651]

Great song great guitarist and a beautiful person and just an amazing performance by all!👏🙂

[@ronfreeman5857]

Agree!!

[@richardwysocki8300]

"Amazing performance by all!" You summed up by thoughts as well. Molly is a beautiful woman and looks great without the wig. She just brings a smile to my heart... and makes this world a better place.

[@allenra530]

I have watched and listened to Molly's music videos over a hundred times and will probably watch them several hundred more. She is impossibly beautiful and her voice is wonderful. Love you, Molly.

[@yogxoth1959]

That steel string guitar intro is just magical.

[@AcousticOne]

WHAT A BAND! Molly and GHW with the great Jerry Douglas just AMAZING 🫠

[@GerryL116]

Jerry was the producer of the new album that this song came from.

[@calimein]

I really think this girl lights up everything around her. She is pure light. I love this song. I am also a crooked tree. Thanks god.

[@CordellCoats]

Thank you for spreading the awareness of alopecia. Our 22 yr old son has alopecia areata. His started when he was quite young, as I begin to write this I think of the irony, he used to always want to wear a hat to cover it up, but as he got older he would only wear out of necessity, to guard from the sun. Now he happens to work at a custom hat factory. Love this song btw! Edit - just asked him to remind me, he was 5 when diagnosed, lost all his hair except eye lashes, so kept it from being ‘alopecia universalis’ by age 6

[@alan4sure]

Molly lost hers at 3...

[@jeffhodge7333]

I love these guys. Too much talent on one stage. Molly for President. She gets us.

[@tspicks4360]

Wow, that just has me smiling ear to ear at the sound, while still being caught up the wonderful and meaningful lyrics. I'm a huge music fan, across many genres ... this is just a 10 out of 10, in every way. Love Molly's casual wig flip, too. That's right, so what? Molly is beautiful all the away around, and wigless too!

[@alan4sure]

Her head is perfect🥰

[@blindpew69]

What a fantastic group of musicians. Really special.

[@engelsanchez]

Love you, Molly. My daughter and I saw you multiple times in 2022. She ended up all obsessed with your music, and playing the guitar like a maniac. Thank you for being you!! ❤❤❤

[@snuffyballparks6501]

Molly is beyond stunning.

[@DenScan]

Great version. NOBODY does it like Jerry Douglas...

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

I was a "crooked tree" growing up too. Still am in my 70's! 😆 🤣 😂

[@LawrieFWhite]

So much to love about this woman and her music. Never over plays, though she could - tasteful & good. Bless you

[@kimberlyblough3830]

The beautiful music rolls off of these musicians like glistening tears of an angel. I never would have found this song, but once again Mr. Rather has highlighted an amazingly talented group and a song that touched my soul. Never stop being a crooked tree 💓.

[@m.t.r.168]

Thank you - this brought tears to my eyes. Molly removing her wig for this song was a beautiful act of courage and made the lyrics even more powerful.

[@greensavant2573]

Molly is pure CLASS. Talent, extreme dedication, wardrobe, and being at peace with herself, and open for others to likewise be inspired. Thank you Molly!

[@tbonky]

The healing energy I get from this performance is a blessing. Thank you Molly Tuttle, Golden Highway, and Jerry Douglas!

[@JoeLorence]

Such a great track, and thank you for mic'ing up the bass well to fill out the bottom end of the live recording!

[@frankboyd.]

Love Shelby's vocals. It ads that extra spice to Molly's perfect voice.

[@scottjones6283]

One of the most beautiful and uplifting songs I’ve ever heard

[@paulelliott3220]

Absolutely wonderful Magical music from 6 very talented musicians and we’d all rather be a crooked tree Love the interplay and generosity of the individual players

[@dwaynejasper2730]

I just love Molly , she is so cool

[@jamesfaulkner-b7j]

Had a chance for free tickets to see the Tuttles play a church hall in Palo Alto a few years back…too lazy to drive over from Santa Cruz, oh well…anyway it’s nice too see that it’s all turned out beautifully!

[@stevecurrie8760]

Always glad to see her setting herself free!!!

[@arlo2203]

jesus... she's such a genius... a musical force!

[@YacNobody]

That's it right there.... That's pure gold right out of the mountain streams. Bravo

[@marcussegrest5708]

Alopecia areota is no joke. I suffered through it about 20 years ago. For her to snatch off that wig and embrace it in a live performance was monumental! Molly is a badass!

[@DesignRhythm]

Saw them open for Charlie Crockett last night; legends in the making. What a great band / sound.

[@user-bg2cs6rw8c]

Molly! Incredible! Thank You!

[@jbbucio7022]

Almost brings me to tears, such a beautiful song and an amazing performance.

[@kylehomerin6219]

Molly's killing it one of the best newer bands in the scene. I'm talking Golden Hiighway. I've been a fan since Take the Journey. Bobcat kills it.

[@jamesh4357]

Jerry Douglas, master blue-grass player, looks like a proud papa here. Magic!

[@stephengilbert5612]

Great tallent on the stage and Molly amazing as ever.

[@mikeowens3164]

Molly is so Awesome she is so Beautiful and Gorgeous

[@WhatSRV]

The Civil Wars opened my eyes to other music. I'm a classic rock person first but this music now I just love as much these days. A few years ago I found Molly, Ruth Moody (via The Fretless and their collab WaterBound) and her band The Wailin' Jennys, and Sarah Jarosz just name a few. I love their music. It just puts me in a different place when I listen to them. Thank you for the beautiful music.

[@ersp1]

Check out AJ Lee and Blue Summit with Molly's brother Sully and some other great musicians. AJ used to perform with Molly & Sully when they were kids.

[@bigmac51290]

The Civil Wars was a great introduction, shame they took their name a bit too seriously.

[@leonwhildenjr4483]

Hi Molly Angel! This one made me smile! Molly and her golden gang are very impressive. They blend together so well.Also that’s a well written song miss Molly! I’m happy for you baby and I love you!🙂❤️⭐️🐅🌺🐝🌅🥂🍾🕊🦋🕊

[@mmason4242]

Being a crooked tree I just love this song. But, oh man, this version is so extra special. 🥰

[@funknbr49]

What a great tune! The Old Guard ushering in the New Guard….My ears and heart soar😊!

[@71Corvette454]

I just love this song:) And what an amazing performance!

[@margaretserreyn4473]

Beautiful lady, beautiful voice.

[@Wokewoman]

Molly, Thanks you for taking your wig off! It helps all of us wig wearers to not be ashamed. You own it!!!

[@kerryalfred6565]

[@Cyrilmc222004]
